Proteas provide action on the field at Newlands
Away from the office-window moment, South Africa began the third Test strongly before Australia fought back during the final sessions.
Marques Ackerman scored 95 runs off 94 balls, while Aiden Markram contributed 78 off 141 deliveries. Their opening partnership produced 158 runs before Ackerman was stumped off Nathan Lyon.
David Bedingham added 50, and Marco Jansen scored 52 as South Africa finished their first innings on 329 all out. Mitchell Starc led Australia's attack with six wickets for 72 runs.
The match was the deciding Test of the series, following Australia's victory in Durban and South Africa's win in Gqeberha. The result at Newlands would determine which side claimed the series.
